THE first shots have been fired in the battle for the top job at Glamorgan Spring Bay council with candidate Mike Kent calling for an inquiry into allegations of bullying of councillors and threats of legal ­reprisals against the Great Oyster Bay Community News – the newsletter that raised the bullying claims.

Mr Kent said the rift ­between the council executive and the Great Oyster Bay Community News had prompted him to contest the mayoral position in October’s local government elections.

Council expenditure on the Solis golf course and the effects of seaweed dumps on business had also been raised by the paper, he said.
